Drinking milk thru a sippy/ straw yet?

My pedi told us to start transitioning him to a straw cup for milk,to be done with bottles by 1 yr. old. He's been using a straw cup with water in it to have with solids for a while now. For those that have begun the transition or are already, how did you start? I tried giving some formula in his straw cup to go with his solids to sip on, instead of water yesterday, and he didn't want to touch it. But his water with solids he drinks a lot of. ...also, once they are 1yr. Old, are feeding suppose to be all solids and just some milk as a drink from then on, or do they still need a certain amount of oz. of milk after this? Thanks, sorry for all the questions!

See now idk. Because i have always given formula in the bottle and water and the rare juice/water mix in her sippy cup and she can drink from a cup and straw. I have 3 older kids. Honestly at a year old i just switched from formula to milk and then weened (sp?) From bottle to sippy cup. Ive never done it before the year mark. Im assuming sense your lo already drinks from a straw and cup it shouldnt be hard when your ready. I have always cut the bottle from nap time to bed time to sippy cup. So when you feel your baby is ready go for it. =)
